RICHARD Money was happy to admit that Walsall's win at Macclesfield owed more to grit that graceful football.

"It was a performance full of determination and character," Money said. "There are many ways of winning and we have shown our abilities in those ways tonight.

"Macclesfield is a tough place to get a win. We had to deal with a lot of long balls and let's not forget that of our two centre-backs, one is 20 and the other 19. They can be very pleased with their performances.

"Also the pitch was incredibly difficult, like concrete. But sometimes you have to play the pitch as well as the opponents. At Mansfield we tried to overplay, but tonight we got it right.

"After last Saturday's result we needed to get three points so I can't speak highly enough of the players."

Meanwhile, Money did not rule out late business before the transfer window closes tonight.

"Who knows?" the manager said. "Twenty-four hours is a long time."

But striker James Constable has joined Kidderminster Harriers after his loan spell at Aggborough.
